[MD] Another parallel

[X Acto]

Platt,
THIS can not be taught? you seem to say that WHERE it is taught
dictates WHAT is being taught. I find this ridiculous and irrational.
Especially after how long you've been contributing.

Again, the personal attack. Why?

Pirsig himself says the MOQ employs SOM reasoning. But, he explains 
why SOM reasoning misses the central reality of the MoQ.

"The central reality of the MOQ not an object or a subject of anything 
else. It is understood by direct experience only and not by reasoning of 
any kind." (LC,132)

Pretty fuckin dumb? I guess by your lights it is.
